According to the experts at the Naval
Hospital Jacksonville Preventive
Medicine Division, the mosquito pop-
ulation at NAS Jacksonville and the Yellow
Water Housing Area has been quite low this
year due to the lack of rain during our
spring and summer season.
"We have a very aggressive mosquito sur-
veillance program here which runs May
through October. Our job is to collect the
mosquitoes that are brought in by contrac-
tors who set up traps, count and identify
them and determine if we need to spray in
specific areas," said HMC(AW/FMF) Vernon
Stiles, division officer of the Preventive
Medicine Division. "But, just because you
don't get bit as much on base, doesn't mean
you won't three blocks outside the gate. We
just have a very stringent program here.
Any time we have an increased mosquito
count, we notify Public Works Department
and they have our contractors spray to
reduce the number of adult mosquitoes."
One interesting fact is that only the
female adult mosquitoes bite. "We go
around the base to identify breeding sources
for the female mosquitoes. What a lot of
people don't realize is that mosquitoes
require a water source to reproduce," added
Stiles. "If there is no standing water, we
won't have mosquitoes, so we try to elimi-
nate it by educating people to dump wading
pools, flower pots, children's toys and any-
thing that holds water."
The preventive medicine division not only
runs the mosquito control program for the
base and Yellow Water but they also cover
the Defense Reutilization and Marketing
Office and Whitehouse Outlying Field.
Mosquitoes can transmit several types of
diseases to humans and animals including

viruses like St. Louis encephalitis (SLE),
Eastern Equine encephalitis (EEE), dengue
fever and other non-viral diseases like
malaria. Very few cases of malaria or
dengue fever are ever reported in the United
States and in the majority of those cases, the
disease is acquired while traveling outside
the United States. In this country, SLE and
EEE are well established and West Nile is
becoming more widespread within this coun-
try. The first notable outbreak of St. Louis
encephalitis occurred in 1974. The next year
95 people died from the disease and nearly
2,000 were infected. The disease is still
around today, but the number of cases has
fallen to about 128 annually.
Although the West Nile virus was first
identified in 1937 in a West Nile District in
Uganda, Africa, the first case didn't surface
in the United States until 1999 when it was
discovered in New York. That year, seven
people died from the disease and 55 were
hospitalized. Since then it has been making
its way across the country with
new cases identified nearly every day. It
has also been discovered throughout the
Middle East and in Eastern Europe.
According to the Center for Disease
Control and Prevention, there were 3,000
human cases and 119 deaths attributed to

Florida joins the 3-foot Passing Law states
Florida recently passed legislation (H.B. 7079) saying that "the
driver of a vehicle overtaking a bicycle or other nonmotorized
vehicle must pass the bicycle or other nonmotorized vehicle at a
safe distance of not less than three feet between the vehicle

and the bicycle or other nonmotor-
ized vehicle."
Arizona, Minnesota, Oklahoma,
Utah, and Wisconsin also have
similar laws on their books.

HEY MONEYMANI

Hey, MoneyMan!
My wife and I have three
credit cards and two debit
cards. She is always com-
plaining that I use the cred-
it card too much and she
never knows how much
money we have.
She wants me to use a
debit card so that the money
is taken out of our account
right away and we don't
over spend. I think credit
cards are safer than debit
cards and I don't trust debit
cards. Who is right?
Should we be using credit
cards or debit cards?
MoneyMan Sez:
I recommend that you
control the use of both
cards. The problem you
seem to be having is that
you and your wife spend too
much. Both credit cards
and debit cards allow you to
spend now and pay later.
The best way to get ahead
financially is spend less
than you make every month
and save the difference. If
you are going, to use credit
or debit cards, it is impor-
tant to understand the dif-
ference.
Essentially a debit card is
an old-fashioned ATM card
with a Master Card or Visa
logo on it. It can be used as
either a PIN-protected card

(good thing) or just like a
credit card, with only a sig-
nature required (bad thing).
Consequently, debit cards
carry a much greater liabili-
ty than credit cards. .
Legally, your ulti mate lia-
bility for a credit card is '$50
and some companies wive
this charge. In addition, if
there is a credit card dis-
pute, you are trying".to
determine if you owe the
bank money.
If someone uses your debit
card fraudulently, potential-
ly all of your money could be
drained from you checking
account and you will be
fighting to recover your own
money back into your own
checking account! It could
take the bank 10 days or
more to investigate and
refund your money.
In. the meantime, bills
must be paid and the money
you thought you had in your
checking account is not
available. Since credit cards
are safer, I prefer them to
debit cards. However, finan-
cial problems occur when
we spend more than we
earn. Remember, the key is
to spend less than you earn
and to save and invest the
difference!

MoneyMan! at 778-0353.

'Nightdippers' train with EOD unit

By Lt. Trevor Prouty
HS-5 Public Affairs Officer
he "Nightdippers" of HS-5
completed four flight evolu-
tions, totaling over eight
hours of flight time last week
with individuals from Explosive
Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Mobile
Unit 6. The training allowed for
a perfect match, as the EOD unit
detachment qualified two new
rope masters, while the
Nightdipper's pilots and aircrew
honed their naval special warfare
tactics and procedures.
The invaluable joint training
focused on some of the various
insertion and extraction methods
that the versatile Nightdipper
helicopters provide to special
operation units. Scenarios on the
first day emphasized the various
overland insertion methods,
including both fast-roping EOD
troops to a simulated ship bridge-
wing and utilizing special patrol
insertion and extraction (SPIE)
rigging. Squadron members con-
ducted the training in a remote
corner of NAS Jacksonville,
where a 10 by 10 square painted

on the ground effectively simulat-
ed the ship bridge-wing. The HS-
5 pilots and aircrew practiced
both day and night events.
The second day of combined
training emphasized over-water
situations and techniques. The
first scenario involved the inser-
tion and extraction of EOD per-
sonnel utilizing a caving ladder
rig.
By maintaining a steady 15 feet
hover over the water, Canvas
616, a HS-5 helicopter, allowed
the EOD swimmers to carefully
climb a collapsible ladder into the
aircraft. In addition to this exer-
cise, the Nightdippers also
teamed with the EOD Sailors to
practice the pivotal task of
destroying enemy mines. This
evolution occurred just south of
the Mulberry Cove Marina, and
required substantial coordination
between all involved.
"The wind and currents out on
the St. Johns River made this a
very realistic training scenario.
The amount of coordination
required between the swimmers
and aircrew is astounding," said
Lt. James Malvasio, a HS-5 pilot.

Naval Air Depot Jax commanding

officer kicks off AIRSpeed Project

By Frank Taormina
Naval Air Depot Jax
Public Affairs Specialist
Naval Air (NAVAIR)
Depot, Jacksonville
Commanding Offi-
cer Capt. John Scanlan II
recently kicked off his Black
Belt Project, AIRSpeed
Operational Maturity.
In a meeting at the depot
June 13, Scanlan addressed
the AIRSpeed team on the
importance of working as a
team to accelerate AIRSpeed
implementation so the en-
tire depot is fully engaged
with Lean and Six Sigma.
This is about fundamentally
changing the way the depot
does its job every day by
using the tools of AIRSpeed.
Scanlan attended two
weeks of Black Belt train-
ing at the GE school in
Cincinnati, Ohio. His next
step is to complete his
Black Belt project, which is
no small task. "The purpose
of the project is to drive the
use of AIRSpeed in all
parts of the Depot and at
every level of the organiza-
tion," Scanlan stated.
"We will be measuring our

AIRSpeed maturity as a
leading indicator for our
true objective, which is the
improved performance to
our Hoshin goals of quality,
cost and delivery to sched-
ule. It is about the activities
we do to improve, not the
numerical score for an area."
Once Scanlan completes
his Black Belt project, the
depot will be in line with
Rear Adm. Michael Har-
dee's and NAVAIR
AIRSpeed Champion Rear
Adm. Walter Skinner's
vision of. being an
AIRSpeed driven facility.
Already a leader in the air-
craft repair industry and
the largest employer in
northeast Florida and
Southeast Georgia, the
depot is continually seeking
opportunities to improve.
The depot is leading the
way in the use of
AIRSpeed, which is part of
NAVAIR's solution to re-
duce the cost of doing busi-
ness. AIRSpeed is a proven
set of business tools to
achieve cost-wise readiness
through a system of contin-
uous process improvements
using tools such as Theory

of Constraints (TOC), Lean
and Six-Sigma.
Lean is a process im-
provement strategy that
focuses on adding value to
the product and the total
elimination of waste in the
value stream of the process.
Lean uses incremental
improvements to constantly
eliminate waste and create
standard workflows.
Six-Sigma is a process
improvement strategy that
is based on reducing the
variation of critical ele-
ments to improve the out-
put of the process. Six-
Sigma is driven by an

understanding of customer
needs, a disciplined use of
facts, data, statistical
analysis, and diligent
attention to the control of
our process.
TOC is a system wide ,
view that helps identify key
constraints in processes
and apply resources to,.
those constraints to elimi-
nate them.
Simply put, AIRSpeed is
a plant-wide approach to
improving productivity and
efficiency, which results in
a better product to the cus-
tomer at less cost to the
taxpayers.

Canvas 615 follows an arid valley while flying close to
the terrain around NAS Fallon, Nev. The lack of
obstructions allowed the "Nightdippers" to practice
low-level flying procedures that are currently in use

Marino passed through NAS
: Sigonella, Italy, while on vacation
with his family and met with the "War
"Eagles" of VP-16. After meeting military
personnel from the various commands
aboard the base and signing autographs
for waiting fans, Marino joined Sailors for
lunch in the base galley.
With his appetite satisfied, he then took
;-time to tour the flight line and personally
meet with Combat Aircrew (CAC) 12 as
they preflighted their aircraft.
Crewmembers then escorted Marino and
-his family through the mighty P-3C Orion.
The group received hands-on training from
CAC-12, including explanations of each
tactical position on the versatile aircraft.
From maritime patrol to overland surveil-
lance to surface and undersea warfare, the
many mission capabilities of the P-3 were
explained to the Marino family.
He compared Lt. Trent Tanski's job as
mission commander and tactical coordina-
tor to that of a quarterback, always read-
ing the field of play and adjusting plans to
become master of the situation.
Before departing the plane, Marino
shared a few words with the crew.

War Eagles'

"I want to take this opportunity to thank all
of you for what you do and all the great things
you've done," Marino said. "I want to let you
know that you are appreciated. I know that
it's tough at times, but for all of us back home,
especially in the football community, we
thank you for everything you've done."
Marino will go down in history as being
one of the greatest signal-callers to ever
play the game. Having been quarterback
for the Miami Dolphins from 1983-1999,
Marino tops the NFL record books in 24
regular-season records and is tied for three
others. He ranks first in all-time career
passing yardage and sixth in all-time pass-
ing efficiency.
The impressive numbers Marino posted
during his exceptional football career led
to a nomination into the Pro Football Hall
of Fame in 2005, his first year eligible for
the honor. His number 13 is one of only
two numbers to be officially retired from
the Miami Dolphins organization.
Currently, Marino provides analysis for
CBS's The NFL Today every Sunday dur-
ing football season. He is also a co-host for
HBO's Inside the NFL.
Off the field, Marino established the Dan
Marino Foundation, an organization that
benefits children's charities in South

the exercise were in reac-

Sailors help remodel home

for special-needs children

By MCI Mike England
Assistant Editor
Sailors from NAS Jackson-
ville and USS John F.
Kennedy participated in the
complete remodeling and rehabil-
itation of a Jacksonville home for
special-needs, foster and adopted
children recently.
The Page-Bailie Residence, a
small three bedroom, two bath
home that houses nine special
needs children and two adults,
was remodeled by Builders Care
with the help of hundreds of vol-
unteers from the Navy, Jackson-
ville-based companies, civic
groups and churches.
Don Wilford, president of ICI
Homes, was excited at the pros-
pect of helping unprivledged chil-
dren and working with Navy vol-
unteers. "When Builder Care
President Bill Wilson asked me
come on board for this project, I
jumped at the chance," Wilford
explained. "We did 75 days worth
of work in less than two weeks
and it wouldn't have been possi-
ble without the Navy. They have
been extremely valuable to
Builders Care. Anytime we'd fall
off schedule, we could always
count on our Sailors to bring us
back."
The project plans called for the
renovation and expansion of the
home by more than 1,500 square
feet and increasing the number of
bedrooms from three to six. Tens
of thousands of dollars worth of
building materials were donated
toward the completion of the proj-
ect. However, the most significant
donations were that of the thou-
Several of those volunteers came
from commands such as NAS
Jacksonville, VP-30, USS John F.
Kennedy and VR-58.

"Volunteering provided an
opportunity to assist children
in care in many ways, includ-
ing providing transportation
and other support," Bailie
stated. '"I find it rewarding to
work closely with staff, foster
parents and community part-
ners."
She quickly became a
licensed foster parent in 1990
and today lives in
Jacksonville providing care to
children of all ages and with
many diverse needs. Bailie
now has nine children.

"All I wanted to do was
make a difference in the lives
of children, and they are won-
derful children and I am so
blessed to be able to parent,"
she added.
The ultimate goal of
Builders Care is to lessen sub-
standard housing belonging to

those who have no other way
of repairing their homes. They
have repaired more than 500
houses since 2001, but the
work of Builders Care has
just begun.
There are an estimated
45,000 substandard houses in
Northeast Florida in desper-
ate need of repair. Builders
Care Director of Operations
Rev. Chris Simons said that
they eager for more Navy vol-
unteers. "We always look for-
ward to working with our
Navy volunteers," Simons
stated. "They always come out
with a great attitude and
work extremely hard." For

"It was great to be able to visit the naval
hospital. Capt. Bono did a great job of
walking us through the scope of her,
responsibility. I was surprised at the size
of the hospital and the number of patients
seen," said Jacksonville Memorial Hospital
President and CEO John Wood. "It was
great to have a chance to meet the person-
nel there. I learned Memorial Hospital is
the third busiest TRICARE network hospi-
tal and we are very interested in maintain-
ing that close relationship with the mili-
tary."
"The breakfast gave us a wonderful
opportunity to thank our network
providers for their support of our patients,
while sharing our unique dual mission of
support to the Fleet and health care deliv-
ery to our beneficiaries," said Bono.
Bono plans on holding another network
provider breakfast in the near future.

On July 7, Naval Hospital Jackson-
ville Commanding Officer Capt.
Raquel Bono hosted the first-ever
TRICARE network provider breakfast for
more than 35 network providers and
administrators and 50 hospital staff at the
hospital's award-winning galley. This
event was designed to improve collabora-
tion between the civilian provider network
and the military treatment facility.
The guests observed the raising of the
national ensign and an awards ceremony,
where medical staff was cited for meritori-
ous service while service in Iraq. Visitors
had time to meet the staff over breakfast
and discuss how mutually beneficial part-
nerships could be forged. Working closely
with the civilian medical community is one
of the steps Bono is taking to improve serv-
ices and to realize the hospital's motto of
being First in Service.
Bono gave a short presentation on the
hospital's dual mission of supporting for-
ward-deployed troops and taking care of
their family members who remain behind.

Trips, activities and costs may be restricted to E1-E5 sin-
gle or unaccompanied active duty members. Call the
Liberty Cove Recreation Center for more details, 542-3491.

There are also two 42-inch plasma
,screen televisions in the bar.
Currently there is one parking lot open
until the old pro shop is demolished and a
new lot will be built. A new intercom sys-'
tem enables employees to contact anyone
,anywhere in the clubhouse and on the golf
e:urse. The upgrades of golf carts are
impressive, with the new carts featuring
special canopies in case of rain.
w The golf clubhouse project began in 2002
ras..part of a contract awarded to Harry
Mapper Company. According to NAS
=&cksonville Golf Director Tim Hooks, the
Vld clubhouse was beyond renovation or
i-epair. "The former clubhouse had gone
through its life expectancy. The roof
leaked, animals kept crawling in and it
was very inefficient. We needed a new golf
clubhouse to compliment the golf course,"
he said.
,'"We now have the best military pro shop
around," added NAS Jax Assistant Golf
Pro Shephen Sherman.
V MWR Director John Bushick compared
the differences between the new golf club-
house and the old one. "All golf programs
are now under one roof. The new golf club-
house has a full kitchen and customers
dine on china. They also have access to the
use of lockers and shower facilities during
the day. Patrons also get an excellent view
of the golf course when they come here," he
said.
The new golf clubhouse project was part
of the MWR Jacksonville capitol improve-
ment initiative to make life better for all
customers. All the proceeds from the new
golf clubhouse goes to MWR to provide

benefits to all Sailors and their families.
The funding came from a Commander
Navy Installations Command grant, Navy
Exchange profits and MWR revenues.
"I have seen a lot of MWR facilities
around the country and this is top of the
line," said Commander, Navy Region
Southeast Rear Adm.. Mark Boensel, at the
ceremony.
"We have a great first-class golf club-
house that is the new flagship for our
MWR programs. Its impact extends
beyond the golfing community," comment-
ed NAS Jax Commanding Officer Capt.
Chip Dobson.
The new clubhouse also features a state-
of-the-art pro golf shop where you can get
the latest and greatest in golf equipment
The golf clubhouse is open Monday

the West Nile virus in
2005. So far this year, as of
July 11, only 10 cases have
been reported. The disease
is also found in horses and
birds and carried by mos-
quitoes.
The Preventive Medicine
Division is comprised of 10
preventive medicine techni-
cians (PMTs) all of whom
have a pest control certifi-
cation.
"My job is to analyze the
mosquitoes that are found
in the traps located in dif-
ferent areas. Once I get the
samples in and they are
frozen, I identify them in
the microscope. If there are
20 or more female mosqui-
toes in a specific trap, we
request that area to be
sprayed," said HM1(SW/
AW) Eduardo Mojica, who
runs the mosquito program
for the division.
Identifying mosquitoes
can be somewhat tedious.
"There are hundreds of
species of female mosqui-
toes. By identifying them,
we can determine certain
characteristics such as
when they tend to bite and
what diseases they carry,"
explained Mojica.
Making people aware of
prevention measures to
reduce the mosquito popula-
tion in their area is an
important component of an
effective program to combat
the disease.
Mosquitoes breed in water
and are attracted to the
C02 that humans and ani-
mals exhale.
Once they find their vic-
tim, they bite because they
need the blood meal for
their offspring. Dusk to
dawn are their primary
feeding times .
Make sure you and your
family stay protected. Wear
protective clothing, avoid
being out after dark and use
a repellent with DEET.
Also, make sure your pets
are on preventive medicine
against heartworms as
mosquitoes also carry this
disease.

Mojica checks the characteristics of a mosquito caught on
base. Only female mosquitoes bite and are easily distin-
guished by their thin antennas under the microscope. Male
mosquitoes feature much bushier antennas.

Symptoms of West Nile virus
In a healthy person, West Nile virus tends to be asympto-
matic or may present with nonspecific symptoms including a
high fever, headache and body aches much like the flu. More
severe cases will include nausea, vomiting, mental status
changes, swollen lymph nodes and possibly a slightly raised
rash. A blood test determines if a person is Infected.

As early as the 1920s, tobacco adver-

between smoking and being cool and slim.
Cigarette advertising to stay slim led to
a greater than 300 percent increase in

sales for one brand in the first year of its
advertising campaign.
In 1968, one tobacco company advertised
cigarettes to women with a strategy show-
ing insight into the importance of the
women's movement. Their new slogan
"You've Come a Long Way, Baby" eventu-
ally gave into "It's a Woman Thing" in the

SMOKING: Improved education, counseling helping cessation

From Page 16

into "Find your Voice" cam-
paign featuring women of
diverse racial and ethnic
backgrounds.
The. hidden message of
these campaigns has been
that smoking is related to
women's freedom, emanci-
pation, and empowerment.
Not much has changed over
the past 80 years with
weight gain continuing to be
a main reason for women's
fear of smoking cessation
and one of the main relapse
triggers for women smokers
in America.
Our continued emphases
on being slim and cool are a
driving factor. Even so,
today more than 60 percent
of American women are
obese. Unfortunately, with
our obsession with weight
many women would rather
smoke than put in the effort
and work to change behav-
iors, i.e., exercise properly
or at all, and eat healthier.
Americans in general are
overweight and are looking
for a quick fix for many
problems. Many Americans
suffer from "low frustration
tolerance," in other words
we want to be comfortable
24/7 physically and psycho-
logically and changing
habits such as exercise and
eating right when we quit
smoking takes too much
work and time.
This is obvious with
women's obsession with
dieting, weight and smok-
ing. What many of us do not
understand is that smoking
one pack of cigarettes a day
can cause the equivalent of
being 100 pounds over-
weight as far as our heart is
concerned. The increase in
bad cholesterol, LDL, clogs
the arteries and the intake
of carbon monoxide in tobac-
co smoke, destroys the heart
muscle.
Smoking continues to be
one of the top two causes of
heart disease, which is the
number one killer of
Americans, in both men and
women. We also know that
in 2006 for the first time in
our history more women are
predicted to die from heart
disease than men. Other
major health problems from
smoking include lung can-
cer, which kills three times
as many women as breast
cancer each year in
America.
Emphysema, a terrible

disease of the lungs, is
caused almost exclusively
from smoking cigarettes and
is responsible for almost
100,000 deaths per year. I
have personally had female
patients as young as 44
years old with late stage
emphysema on external
supplied oxygen, living a
pathetic existence.
We are seeing an increase
in women smoking cigars in
America because of the
desire to be cool. Cigar
smoke .can have 30 times
the amount of carbon
monoxide per cigar. Plus,
cigars are more addictive
than cigarettes due to the
huge amounts of nicotine
per cigar.
Cigars can range from six
milligrams (mg) of nicotine
in the smallest to up to 335
mg in the largest cigars on
the market today. You
absorb this nicotine through
the capillaries in the mouth
even if you do not inhale the
smoke!
The most recent, Center
for Disease Control (CDC)
survey showed that 31 mil-
lion women smoke ciga-
rettes in America one in
five. A disturbing trend is
girls start smoking earlier
today and 22 percent. of
women between the ages of
18-44 are currently smok-
ers.
Women smokers are liv-
ing 15 years or more less
than non-smoking women,
not to mention a diminished
quality of life due to health
problems from smoking..
According to the National
Center on Addiction and
Substance Abuse at
Columbia University girls
get addicted faster and on
less nicotine than do their
male counterparts.
This is true with most
other drugs as well. Also,
girls are more likely to be
depressed than boys and
have eating disorders as
well. Unfortunately many
girls use nicotine to cope
with these problems.
To sum it all up, in March
2001 the U.S. Surgeon Gen.
David Satcher released a
detailed report on women
and smoking stating, "There
is no better word to describe
the 600 percent increase
since 1950 in women's death
rates for lung cancer, a dis-
ease primarily caused by
cigarette smoking. Clearly,
smoking-related disease
among women is a full-

blown epidemic." efits for our active duty,
